Rayonier Research Biometrician Stephanie Patton explains what a Forest Biometrician does and what it takes to become one.
Forestry companies own thousands and even millions of acres of forest land. Across Rayonier, more than 2.7 million acres span across the U.S. South, Pacific Northwest and New Zealand.
With so much forest land, how do forestry organizations go about accounting for all of the trees? And why is taking tree inventory important?

In regions where we purchase wood and fiber in the United States, we actively map endangered forests and special areas using scientific criteria and modeling that assesses high conservation values. GP doesn’t buy wood from these high-conservation-value areas except in unique situations when active forest management is needed to improve habitat for endangered, rare, and/or vulnerable species. As part of this process, we have:

The commitments are huge, the intentions noble, and the support for regions devastated by deforestation long overdue. But one has to wonder: Can GHG emissions from forest cover loss really be halted?
Sappi Continues Push to Enhance Business Diversification
Multimedia with summary
Sappi’s continual push to find new ways to extract value from trees has resulted in the exploration of unique applications for our line of Valida products. Valida is a micro- and nanofibrillated cellulose manufactured in our pilot facility in the Netherlands. It’s a 100 percent natural, biodegradable, and sustainable material produced by mechanically processing wood fibers to their smallest components, resulting in a dramatically increased surface area and greater strength as well as enhanced optical, chemical, and physical properties.
